    Our view from the table at Japengo
    Barbara T.

    We were at the Westin when we first arrived in Maui and then moved to the Hyatt. I have to say this is a much better hotel. The pools are better. The views. The sunsets from here are insane! The room is a lot larger and more elevated than the Westin. Upon arrival the concierge gives you a box os macadamia chocolate! Yum! The customer service has been impeccable thus so far. The rooms don't have paper thin walls so that's great too cause at the Westin you coils hear everything! Also- the restaurants here! The pool side restaurant is great. Japengo is insanely good for sushi! and the views from there are so beautiful and worth it for a romantic dinner. In short, I highly recommend this resort and all of its amenities!

    5 out of 5. I cried on the way to the airport when we had to leave. Maui itself is already breath-takingly beautiful as it is, so this Hyatt Regency Resort and Spa was the cherry on top of the cake. This sprawling estate sits at the top of the hill, the cream of the crop. You pass all the other hotels on the way up (not that there's anything wrong with the other hotels); I've only stayed at this one on this trip. Service was wonderful from the beginning. I actually accidentally pulled into the time share sister hotel on accident, but the valet somehow knew I was supposed to drive a little higher to the Hyatt Regency Resort and Spa. Side note: you can use both pools and the facilities which are both amazing and pretty much next to each other. Every valet worker was kind and showed us impeccable ohana every time we needed the car. Please bring cash and tip them well. One younger gentleman even asked what we did that day and was happy to engage in a little convo and give us recs for snorkeling for next time. I wish I got his name, but he has a great, welcoming smile and a heart of gold. June checked us in and was fabulous. She understood the assignment. She knew I was on the Costco Travel budget but did everything she could to upgrade me to a FULL ocean-view room at a reasonable cost. She showed me different available rooms with their views on an iPad, and I am so thankful for her and her outstanding service! Hearing the crashing waves as we were lulled to sleep each night while waking up to the sun glistening on the surface of the blue green ocean will be a mesmerizing memory that we will have forever. We got lei-ed with beautiful necklaces (every guest does). Staff greeted us with a smile. They were happy, willing, and eager to help. The hotel has its own Japanese garden, swans, parrots, koi pond, and penguins! We loved the penguin feeding at 9:30 a.m. (happens daily) because the wonderful lady gives you great information about the sweet creatures. The hotel activities include lei making, hula dancing, and a lot more. You also have direct access to the beach which is so convenient. There's also a walkway where several people took sunrise and sunset walks. The pool is a nice size, and there are eateries on property from fine dining to casual as well as shave ice (but we went to Island Village for excellent shave ice and coffee at Whaler's Village which is about a 15 minute walk). There's also a cute trolly that can take you part way there. If you drive, you can get validated parking for spending $15 at the ABC Store. We ate the buffet breakfast at Swan Court, and again, everyone was super nice. The food was delicious, especially the chicken congee, coconut chia pudding, and bread pudding. There's something for everyone, even the pickiest of eaters. Service was signature ohana spirit, as always. The entire facility was clean. It had everything we needed and more. I'm still floored and can't believe this was our experience at Maui. Oh, and the Drums of the Pacific Luau on property was top tier. The performers are experts; they are beautiful inside and out. I still got nervous during the fire-throwing part, but they did a phenomenal job. If you get there a little early, once you're inside, they even have a moment to give you temporary tattoos, take a professional photo, and do an activity. You can also take photos with a dancer at the end. They have staff help you reserve the luau or any other activity your heart desires. Gayle has been working there for 28 years, and she truly enjoys working there and helping you--service with a smile--truly. She answered all of my questions about the luau, even at the very end of her day, she took her time and didn't make me feel like I was holding her up. Pro tip: Return all of your pool towels one by one and wait for the machine to finish processing. They are all chipped, and you could be charged $25 for each towel if you don't keep track of and return your towels. It's sad they even have to do that because some people steal them. I really loved my stay so much and can't wait to return one day. I highly recommend!

    We really enjoyed our stay at this property even though it wasn't perfect. It's a great location and the property is beautiful and sprawling. We got a nice room with an awesome view. They have a pen with about 8 penguins in the lobby that is super cool, as well as some parrots and other birds to check out. While we didn't use it, they have a great convenience store on property, as well as a few shops with jewelry, clothing and art. They were doing a concert on the Friday night in their courtyard that was pretty annoying. The artist was boring as could be and went until 10 pm. Room was fairly soundproff, but not enough to keep the monotonous droning out. Service around the property is a little uneven with some being great and others being just okay.

    It's our first time in Maui, and we came here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. From the moment we arrived, everything has been perfect -- the staff are so kind, and the hotel is spotless and beautiful. Even though we don't check out until Thursday, I wanted to write this review early because everything so far has been absolutely wonderful. The pool, the room, breakfast, and even the snacks -- everything has exceeded our expectations. We've had such a joyful and relaxing time just staying within the resort!

    Its been a while since I stayed at the Hyatt Regency on Maui. The reasons for the 5 Star rating is from the start, Connor the Manager showed a lot of Aloha when he reached out to me via email. In addition, when we arrived, Hume the valet, Jim at the front desk, and the bellman Owen also showed a lot of Aloha welcoming us to the hotel. We had a ocean view room (upgrade) on the 21st floor, and the view could not have been better. We also received a ton of comp snacks made by Hawaiian Sweets, a Maui based company. Lastly we received waters and local soft drinks. Although the Regency Club was small, the staff Lisalani and Wannette were super nice, and showed a lot of Aloha. Unfortunately, the food was just ok compared to other domestic hotel clubs/lounges I have been to. For example, the sausage was cold for bfast (no lid on serving dish), and the fried shrimp in the afternoon were the frozen variety. Additionally, for some reason alcohol was not hosted. I don't know that I would upgrade to a Club access room in the future here. Its not worth the cost. On the other hand, the gym was massive, and had every machine/apparatus a regular gym person could want. Overall, the entire experience was real positive, and I would stay here again. The property is in a good location, and its right on the water.

    This place is nice and the beach is just a few steps away. If you enjoy animals you'll want to stay or visit here. They have penguins, coy, parrots and swans. They have valet or self parking. There are three different towers of rooms. I stayed at the Nipili Tower (closest to entering the property). The room was spacious and very inviting. I had an ocean view which was nice to wake up to every morning. Since I am pregnant I have to wake up every night to go to the bathroom and there were lights that turned on just enough underneath the bed so illuminate my path. This is my first time ever seeing this and I absolutely appreciated it. They provide two refillable (you can refill throughout the property) water bottles which came in handy. The property itself has a few restaurants and which are quite expensive. The only thing I had to consume while I was here was the breakfast buffet and that was because it came with my stay. The service during breakfast was wonderful. The buffet itself was okay. A few hot foods with pastries, fresh cut fruit and other continental breakfast items. My favorite here was the ube pancakes! It was so full of flavor. A must here!! During my stay they were doing construction at the pool so I believe there is only one pool and there could be two jacuzzis. There's also a slide which I didn't use.

    The Hyatt Regency Maui is a combination of positive and not so great. On the positive side many staff were very friendly and accommodating. The rooms were comfortable and clean and felt updated. The penguins and other birds are a cute attraction as well. The hotel is located relatively close to the "Whalers Village" where you can dine and shop. Conversely, If you are a beach sand person you should be aware that there is effectively no beach due to erosion. Also, a portion of the property is under construction and if you are in the main tower you will hear the buzz saw all day. (The Hotel disclosed the construction prior to arrival) and a portion of the pool is boarded off. Parts of the hotel are showing their age as well. As you would expect the food outlets are expensive but the food is very average. The Regency Club offers processed eggs and yogurt with modified food starch and 14g of added sugar. There are some fresh fruits, muffins and other items. However, you would think Hyatt could do better with this Club.

    Great hotel with lots of pools, animals, and activities. Easy and close beach access right in front. Affordable parking options (self-parking $25 and valet $40). Clean and spacious rooms. About half a mile walk to Whalers Village which has plenty of shopping and restaurants. The highlight of this hotel for us was the stargazing on the roof which is offered on a daily basis (weather permitting) as this is a one-of-a-kind offering from a hotel. The instructor was so informative and we saw more stars and planets at such a close and clear picture it was amazing. The only disappointment is that they recently renovated their pool and removed the grotto and bar. I feel like this was one of the most unique parts of this hotel in terms of their grounds and aesthetic. One thing that we loved was the fact that the pools were heavily heated in the winter and there is no curfew for the pools which made it all the more enjoyable for night swimming and breezy winter days where the sun isn't shining as bright. Another great thing was they let Hyatt guests use the pools at the vacation club as well. Nice perk!

    We stayed 5 nights at the resort. The pool area gets busy, hard to find chairs in the afternoon. I did love the night swims and the lounge access was great opens at 630 am and closes at 8 pm. Our view from our room was spectacular and next door the Hyatt vacation club in the store has a deal where you can buy a reusable cup for 7 day for $80. So worth it if you have kids who love smoothies $15 for a large smoothie. We made use of the cup. We also used the adult pool next door. Make sure to return the towels daily or they will charge your room on the bill. I had to get towel charges removed from our bill.

    I stayed here for only one night in October 2024. We stayed 3 nights at the AC Marriott Wailea, two nights at the Grand Wailea Waldorf Astoria, and one night (our last night) at the Hyatt Regency. Only cons - the penguins were missing and the area looked a little bit under construction/lacking without them since they were not around. Only other con - we only stayed one night. We needed 3 nights to get the absolute experience of this hotel. My mother didn't have time to see the gardens or enjoy the pool. It was just too short of a stay. It would definitely have been better to stay two-three nights. I used up my Hyatt points and booked one night here. It was definitely a teaser trip, and I sort of regret not booking at least two nights instead of one. Pros: staff were so kind and nice. We got real leis upon arrival that were so special. Most hotels have cut this exotic perk, and this felt extremely nostalgic, wholesome, and loving. Definitely felt the ALOHA with the leis. We even wore them back home on the plane. We got wrist bands (instead of key cards) to wear which were nice since you never had to feel like you were going to loose your key or get locked out of your room. My mother has had two knee replacements surgeries so the staff waived the parking fee for the night. The other two hotels we stayed at did not do this, and I thought that was extremely caring and considerate. We almost self parked which would have been a difficult struggle since parking was a trek behind the golf course. We got club level status so we enjoyed an upgraded higher floor room and lounge access for appetizers and breakfast. The coconut shrimp was so good. We also absolutely loved the desserts and fruit. We saw a rainbow in the morning. The yukata kimono robes were also really nice. We loved the spaciousness of the room. It was recently remodeled and had a lot of nice amenities. We loved seeing the tropical birds in the morning and all the beautiful animals. So wished we would have stayed longer here.

    Absolute dreamy experience. The staff here are top notch. It's such a night and day from your average hotel stay. Pros: + Sheldon (valet) brings the positive fun energy + Got lei'd @ check-in! + Pool staff will walk around after lunch time offering free Bubbies mochi ice cream + Convenient towel system placed near pool and elevator + Pool staff walk around intermittently to take food and drink orders + Very clean rooms Good To Know: - Valet is $40; self parking is $25 - Construction happening under Japengo/by the pool - A fair amount of families with little children I booked a YOLO/treat myself trip a month ago and stayed here for 3 nights 4 days. It was an absolute dreamy vacation. Literally did nothing but sit by the pool and walk into the ocean to float around. Tell me you're getting old without telling me you're getting old. Hyatt Regency Maui Resort excels in making hotel patrons feel welcomed. It truly is the small things - warm demeanor from staff, orchids all around the hotel room, ice cream by the pool.

    We stayed for 6 nights and truly enjoyed our vacation. The hotel seems to be new, room was clean and light. We came to celebrate our wedding anniversary and were greeted with bottle of champagne and a pair of kukui leas which was so cool! Swimming pools work 24hours, hot tub until 10:30pm. The beach is nice and clean but there are no chase loungers. There are many animals on the territory: African penguins, swans,various parrots, and we even saw a cat. We did not get a chance to find flamingos though. Our package included the Breakfast buffet which was very good! We are Hyatt members and have been to many other hotels, and can state that this type of buffet was one of the best ones. Fresh fruits and salad greenery, different types of eggs, bakes, toast station, good Hawaiian Paradise coffee and different juices (try guava juice!). For our last night we had a dinner at Umalu. Good food but nothing special. One of the evening we really wanted to try Japengo restaurant. Came at 8:32pm and we were not seated as the last seating is at 8:30pm :( That was a bit frustrating. Overall, great resort to stay as a couple and a family. Definitely would come back.

    Everything from service to views to activities to location were great. I only have awesome things to say about the Hyatt Regency Hotel here in Maui. Especially if you have the Regency club access. We stayed on the top floor in a very large room overlooking both the ocean and the golf course. The Regency club has snack foods and sometimes main horse foods all day long. The service is exceptional. The views are incredible. The grounds are so well kept it's unbelievable. It's about a 15 minute walk to the Whalers Village so the location is awesome. Valet parking is $40 per night. Self parking $25 per night. And they have different activities you can sign up for. We made some Kukui nut bracelets. And we also did yoga and Pilates. Terrific time!

    See all

    Ask the Community - SpaWell Maui at Hyatt Regency Maui Resort

    The rooms have a beautiful aroma scent? What is it and do they sell it at the hotel?

    The swim up bar grotto looks nice. Do you have to get out of the water and sit at the bar or are there stools in the water?

    You have to get out of the water. The bar does not actually touch the pool at all, it is separated by a walkway.

    Is there a lazy river?

    No but the pool extends thru the grotto into the kids area which has a small lazy river for kids

    Are their free/included lounge chairs in shade (or with umbrellas) other than by the pool? Like on the grassy areas? We have zero interest in sitting by a pool.

    No, I believe you could rent them for $10 per day

    What's the best location to rent a cabana?

    Hyatt Maui Resort and Spa

    Do they rent out kid size tennis rackets?

    How busy is it in August? Is it still pretty relaxing for adults or are there lots of kids running around?

    Is their onsite guest parking?

    Yes there is onsite parking for a fee.

    Can you use the facilities at the Residence Club next door(Pool,Dining)?

    Yes, we were able to :)

    Can guest take the food in club lounge to go? Will the hotel provide containers if guests prefer to eat meal in room or on the beach?

    For all intents and purposes Hyatt Regency Maui is closed. Any guests that would be in house, and I can't understand why they would want to be here now, can only get takeout food which would be in containers. Btw...You cannot eat on the beach. You… Read more

    I heard they are doing some remodeling. Anyone who's stayed there recently and can share their experience? Any of the pool/bar areas under remodeling? Thanks in advance for any info

    We were there a 4 weeks ago and no remodeling while we were there! Pools and everything were awesome!

    When is the best time to book to get the best rate?

    It's always good to book any major trip at least 6 months out for best deals. It varies pending the destination.

    Is there good cooling / ac in the rooms?

    Yes. I had a room with lanai with oceanview. It was nice to open the door in the morning and in the evening for fresh air and the sound of ocean wave was welcoming.

    Do the TV's have an HDMI input?

    3 HDMI ports. Only one is used and they have a powered USB in for chrome cast Etc.

    Hi y'all just have a few questions, thx!: What water sport activities are available at the resort…

    Should be able to see activities on their website.

    Can you come to the hotel just for the stargazing?

    Aloha Erica, Yes, you certainly can! We have 3 star gazing shows, from our hotel rooftop at 8, 9 and 10pm each evening. Contact our hotel concierge at 808-667-4727, or email at hrmconcierge@expedia.com to book. Hope you can experience this unique… Read more

    Do they offer continental breakfast?

    They offer an amazing breakfast buffet with limited dishes on the menu.

    Do kids 5 and younger eat free?? I know some restaurants do offer that...? New question: I saw that…

    no. for the breakfast buffet, they charge kids aged 5-12 the price of their age. 5 y.o. are $5, 12 y.o. are $12. It's better than the adult price, which is $32 for the buffet!

    How deep is the pool at the end of the big water slide?

    I believe it was 9 feet

    Does anyone know the rates for the different cabanas available?

    Poolside? The smaller round ones for two was $80/day and had to be reserved (usually the night before with some day of). It included them bringing iced water regularly.… Read more

It's a stunning view. The room itself was also nicely updated! It felt modern, yet still cozy and inviting. We got 2 queens, and it seems that every room comes with a balcony. We all loved the balcony - great way to be outside and enjoy the weather, live music, and dry your swimsuits. Anyway, the room itself was very comfortable, and it's hard to find updated rooms in Maui for a somewhat decent price. I think my only complaint is that it was a bit small - it was ok for the 3 of us (2 adults + 1 toddler), but I can't imagine coming here as a family of 4 with teenagers, and have to squeeze into the small room. Swimming pools - there were several to choose from, including a designated kid's pool, regular pool, and adult only pools. They were each nicely designed and landscaped with the trees - there were several slides for each pool, and designed in such a way where you couldn't even notice them. Also, the adult pool was hidden, so little ones aren't tempted to access the adult only pool, and I'm sure it worked well the other way by not being able to hear the kids! The towel process was a little annoying. We were given several towel cards good for each towel. But the annoying thing was that we had to carry separate towel cards separate from our room key, that was a wristband. Might as well just combine the two to make it more convenient for guests? Not that it was a huge hinderance - just a suggestion. Beach access - you are basically right there, on a public beach. It was extremely convenient to be right there, grabbing our towels from the hotel and using them for the beach. If you want lounge chairs, umbrellas, etc. though, you will have to pay a fee to rent them. Obviously it's not as nice as other hotels that have that all set up for you, like we've experienced in other countries, but hey, it's just the Westin. Restaurants - There aren't too many restaurants to choose from here - but we did really enjoy the Hale Moʻolelo Restaurant/Bar. We didn't actually eat here at all, but enjoyed cocktails here every night. They have live music DAILY each evening, and welcome all ages, including our toddler. I was getting tired of the Hawaiian tiki drinks, started ordering regular cocktails, which were decent. The live music alone was wonderful each evening. There was also the Ulu Kitchen by Merriman's, which we were somewhat interested in trying, but never got around to it. Marriott Bonvoy members also get free breakfast with their stay. They did not have a designated breakfast restaurant, unfortunately, but rather they gave us credit for the convenience store that served hot food and other beverages. They had options such as Loco Moco, scrambled eggs and potatoes, acai bowls, spam masubi. Honestly it was all very disappointing food - my daughter really only liked the spam masubi that didn't seem worth it for one entree item. We did utilize the free beverage for bottled water each day though, which was convenient. Location - was wonderful too. It was located right next to Whaler's Village, which is a shopping center with lots of restaurants, coffee, an ABC store, etc. It's a short walk, and we walked here each morning to get coffee, have my toddler run around, and also walk around with her in the stroller during her naps. The hotel is also located with just a few minutes drive to Lahaina, where more restaurants were. Amenities - they have random pet parrots that come out during the daytime, which my daughter loved seeing each day. Fun to see the fish in the koi pond. Also, they have random vendors/activities in their breezeway where the shops are, including pineapple tasting, hat making, etc. which can be fun for the little ones. The arcade was also pretty amazing. Some of the games have this "play until you win" feature, which was really nice for all kids playing to win something. My daughter was hooked. Elevators can be slow. We found that the ones located on the side closest to the front desk were faster than the ones closer to the Arcade! Just realize that this place seemed like it was intended for families, but it was executed quite nicely. Would highly recommend.

    DONT stay here if you want calm or any sort of peace unless you love a sea of humanity! Especially…read morethe south tower near the convention center! They have almost nightly Luau activity till later than we sometimes stay up after getting up at sunset and a Long Beach day. It's fine to see and hear once but this is ridiculous. They also host huge corporate events that literally take over the whole place and make late noise. Rooms are tiny that we saw others in and staff is clueless. They let people have room parties until well into the morning keeping the whole floor loud even after asking their feckless security to handle it. Like 2am with 20 plus people in a little room and slider door open. Staff just began to hang up when called and it took going to the front desk and yelling a lot to affect the closure of one of these room parties. Good luck with the sea of crap around the pools too! We have stayed at the other Westin North before and it wasn't much better so we won't be staying at a Westin anytime In the future.

    We stayed at Marriott's Maui Ocean Club again a couple of weeks ago, this time in the Lahaina…read moreTower--one of the newer, more recently built/renovated towers. I was hoping to stay in the Napili Tower, mainly because I liked the pool area better--longer, more spread out, and largely oceanfront. That said, the Lahaina Tower ended up having its own perks. The biggest one is that it's right next to the self-parking structure that's used for the whole resort, which makes coming and going incredibly easy. If you're staying in the Napili tower, self-parking is all the way on the other side and I would recommend using valet instead to save you the walk. Our room was spacious and comfortable, technically "oceanfront," though it felt more like oceanview. Still, no complaints--the view was lovely, and the room itself had a convenient kitchenette with a fridge, sink, and all the basics (plates, utensils, etc.), which made snack time quick and easy. The Lahaina Tower also has its own smaller pool area, plus a few fun extras like ping pong and foosball. It's also right by Longhi's, if you're looking for an easy meal. If you want more action, the main pool area--with the large, winding pool and additional dining options--is just a short walk away. The weather during our stay wasn't the best--it was actually pretty chilly by Maui standards following the heels of two major storms--but we still had a great time. Between the comfortable room, convenient location, and easy access to everything on property, it made for a relaxed and low-effort getaway. While the resort may not be the newest, we really like the main pool area. I'll definitely opt for the Lahaina/Napili towers again next time. This is a great resort, especially for families looking for a laid-back Maui stay with nice views and plenty to do.

    Maui Ocean Club - Beautiful Resort with a Few Pricey Spots…read more Stayed at the Maui Ocean Club and overall had a great experience. The property has everything you could possibly need -- pools, beach access, restaurants, shops, BBQ grills, valet parking and activities all within walking distance. It's a perfect spot for relaxing and enjoying the island without ever having to leave the resort. That said, some common items are definitely overpriced, and you can find better deals just a short walk or drive away. Still, the $50 all-you-can-drink option (coffee, tea, juice, and soda) was absolutely worth it -- super convenient and a great value for resort guests who want unlimited refills throughout the day good for the entire stay. Beautiful grounds, friendly staff, and an unbeatable location right on Kaanapali Beach. Just be prepared to spend a little more for the convenience.

    Great stay here! Beautiful view from our room…read more They have a great gym area and in front of that they have all the games you could think of: jumbo scrabble, jumbo checkers, jumbo chess, pool, pong, and shuffle board. They're currently under some renovations so some shops are closed at the moment but they have a lot of shopping options when open. Pool service is wonderful, they are so nice and helpful. At most hotels the pools are so basic but THIS pool was SO FUN!! They have a water slide that is even fun for adults, they have a huge waterfall you can swim through and the pool wraps all the way around. Perfect access to the beach area too. Ps. If you're hanging out by the pool or bar, order the pork nachos! You won't regret it ;)

    We have stayed at many vacation clubs and have never had so many random rules as this place does…read more They have a pool police who goes around all day named Tom. I understand people saving seats by the pool being a problem, where I see the problem is music being played when none is played at the pool. My mom pays WAY TOO MUCH to not be able to play music by the pool. Let me elaborate that this music was nothing explicit and at a very respectable level and we asked everyone around us if they cared, they actually appreciated the music due to the pool never playing music like their sigh says they do. They are doing construction so all day you hear the loud noise, some music goes a very long way. Back to the pool police, Tom will go around and tell people to turn off their music even if you can't hear it from 5 ft away. People and workers here just are not as friendly as all of the other resorts we have stayed at and it's not even the nicest one we stayed at so where the unfriendliness comes from is absolutely mind blowing. Beside all of that, the pool is very pretty and large and the bar is great. No complaints about our room. A little out dated but spacious

Always aloha and helpful. The pool decks on the regency and club sides are both great pools. The regency side has the kiddie pool with the slides and pebbled play area. The club side pool is large with plenty of lounge chairs for relaxing. There is always someone walking around to take food and drink orders. It is so helpful when I'm watching multiple kids. The food options in the resort had a good variety from dine in restaurants to snack shop, from choices of American to Asian fusion. The hotel layout encourages walking to enjoy the environment. I was able to put in 10-12K steps each day. The elevators are fast! The daily free activities are great for all ages and held in one of the pools or on the lawn with a great view of the beach.

The property is a large, open, tropical paradise filled with lush gardens, koi ponds, and an impressive variety of wildlife. The architecture blends Asian influences with classic Hawaiian touches, and I really enjoyed reading about the Hawaiian artifacts displayed throughout the resort. One unexpected highlight was the number of friendly feral cats wandering the grounds--my son made it his personal mission to track them down for pets. The hotel also hosts parrots and, believe it or not... penguins! Yes, penguins in Hawaiʻi. The resort participates in a species rehabilitation program for African Penguins and follows strict care guidelines. They offer daily feedings with a short presentation, and the staff were incredibly sweet and knowledgeable. My kids were absolutely captivated. We happened to visit during Halloween weekend, which is a big deal in Hawaiʻi--and Kāʻanapali was no exception. The hotel staff transformed the convention center into a full-blown haunted mental hospital. It was so spooky that my kids refused to go in... and honestly, I didn't want to go in either! Instead, we walked over to the Fisherman's Village for trick-or-treating, which was a great family-friendly option. I do wish we had made advance dinner reservations, though--the restaurant we ended up at nearby was not very good. We stayed in a room with two double beds, a patio, and a nice bathroom. Thanks to a Guest of Honor upgrade, we enjoyed an oceanview room overlooking the pools and beach, with stunning sunsets every night. The upgrade also gave us access to the Regency Club, where the complimentary breakfast was a wonderful perk. Small win of the trip: we bought a cooler bag from the hotel store for only seven dollars--my wife and I were very pleased with that find! LOL The pools are ultra fun and clearly designed with kids in mind. There's a suspension bridge, waterslides, and plenty of little adventures for them to get into--including a shave ice stand nearby. Beach gear rentals were pricier and more limited than I expected, but the beach itself is gorgeous. The waves were small during our stay, but the current was surprisingly strong. We brought our own snorkeling gear, and I had some of the best snorkeling I've done in years right in front of the hotel. Tip: Go early in the morning before the wind picks up and reduces visibility. We also attended the on-property lūʻau, Drums of the Pacific. It's definitely commercialized but still very well done. My kids loved the temporary tattoo station, and the entertainment overall was excellent. There were a few downsides, though. The host was hard to hear for much of the event, and the fire dancing portion--something my son had been excitedly waiting for based on the posters--was surprisingly short. He was a bit let down. Also, the Mai Tai drinks were extremely sweet and a bit light on the alcohol. We had lunch at the pool several times, and the options were surprisingly good. The kids were thrilled with their nuggets and burgers, and poolside service was attentive--especially when tipping generously. Every staff member I encountered was kind, courteous, and genuinely full of aloha. Their positive energy made our stay even better, especially compared to another hotel we stayed at during the trip. Although I would not attend the lūʻau again, we would absolutely stay here again

But it does have a lot of other things going for it. Our favorite is the location to the boardwalk and the super easy access to the most beautiful beach. Perfect for morning walks. Snorkeling is incredible there. Also turtles, sometimes dolphins, monk seals and tons of whales during whale season. You have to pay $90 for two beach chairs and an umbrella. $36 for just an umbrella. Parking is $35 a night. It all adds up quickly. If you want a lounge chair at the pool, you have to get up by 5 AM to get the one you want. They have activities all day and live music most nights- really enjoyable to sit by the fit pit, watch the sunset and live. The rooms are hit and miss. Sometimes we get an ocean view where you can see a sliver of water. Another time we were next to their laundry units, which were loud. Other times we were ocean front and it was incredible to watch the whales. The little kitchenette is perfect. They are well stocked. And I love that you can do laundry. They clean the rooms every two days but you can ask for supplies if you need anything.

My sister called me crying today because the treated like a criminal. She received a text at 1:30 while on the beach telling her that she had to get out of her villa. She ran to the front Bobby and was told that she had 20 minutes to get her stuff out of the villa and was escorted to her to her Villa by security. They made her move rooms and then charged her 2600 for two nights. Of course she is disputing it because they're crazy. Erwin the manager of kaanapali Ocean resorts was rude also. He told her he would be back and left my sister sitting in the lobby. Then somebody named ryland came over and she was also more rude than the next person and actually turned her back and walked away. If you have a choice DO NOT stay at the Westin kaanapali Ocean Resort. There's plenty of other nice resorts where you'll be treated with respect and not a criminal. This is the kind of stuff you can't make up. Absolutely a true story. Worst vacation experience ever!

If you're a light packer, they have hand soap, lotion and shampoo/conditioner in large bottles. I typically pack my own but didn't this trip and it wasn't terrible using what was there. The restaurant/bar on site are fantastic. Sometimes there is a line but they usually move quickly. They have lots of food options and we ate there a few times because of the horrible storm. Power flickered a few times but the generator works and seems like even if power is lost you still have a place to eat and the elevators remain working. There is also a small coffee shop with pastries available. We went here when the restaurant had a long line and found they actually have a little breakfast trays for purchase. We tried the bacon and eggs and with a pastry on the side it was perfect. They host a luau, along with other entertainment on site including a spa! It's a great location if you don't have a rented vehicle. There is an outdoor band with a tiny bar trailer and a pool bar. There is a trolley service that travels to the nearby mall. With vehicles, you do have to pay for parking $40/day and $45/day for valet. We chose valet for convenience but the parking lot is not far, just a short walk. It was our first trip to Maui and a bummer with the storm and all the outdoor excursions cancelled but the fact that I can still give this resort 5 stars says a lot.

From the lobby's balcony, you look out at the beautiful landscaping, the fun pools, and the beautiful ocean staring right at you. The "Magical" Highlights Let's start with the highlights, because parts of this trip were truly breathtaking. * The Beach & Black Rock: The beach was absolutely stunning and surprisingly uncrowded. The most magical part of the entire trip was wading in the water at Black Rock. Two days in a row, I had two HUGE turtles swimming around me; it felt as if they were following me and playing with me. It was the most beautiful sight I've ever encountered. * The Staff: The staff deserves a medal. Every person greets you with a "Happy Aloha" that feels genuine. My husband and I felt like we'd been best friends with the poolside bartender for years. * Housekeeping: The housekeeping staff was absolutely amazing. Every time we came back to our room, it was pristine and very clean. I made sure to leave a $10 tip every day just to let our housekeeper know that we truly appreciated her service. * The Drink: Order the "Put the Lime in the Coconut." It's $22, but it became my very best friend. The Room & The View The hallways leading to the rooms are a tad bit outdated, as are the rooms themselves. However, you are only spending about 5 to 10% of your time in your room anyway. * The Mountain View: We had a room facing the golf course, which offered the most beautiful mountain views. * The Balcony: Our balcony was only big enough to sit one person, but I truly enjoyed sitting out there every morning with my coffee. It's not worth spending the extra hundred dollars for an ocean view when the water is just a short walk away. Pro-Tips for Your Stay * The Pool Chair Hustle: If you want a spot by the pool--especially if you want one with an umbrella--be prepared to put your towels out on the lounges around 6:30 in the morning. By the time you actually head down between 9:30 and 10:00 AM, they will pretty much all be full. * The Safeway Save: I highly recommend stopping at Safeway to pick up items for your refrigerator and having some beer on hand. It helps save a little bit of money considering the other costs. * The $47 Breakfast Gamble: Be prepared to spend $47 on the all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet. Some days it's an absolute hit, others it's a bit of a mess, but the waitstaff and hostesses are always amazing. Take full advantage so you can skip lunch! * The Starbucks Struggle: Expect a 30-minute wait. But hey, who cares about the wait? You are on vacation time! The Cost of Paradise Along with your daily room charge of $600 or above, be prepared for the extras. It adds up very quickly: * $56 daily surcharge fee * $45 daily garage parking fee * $47 breakfast fee (per person) * Extra charges for umbrella and chair rentals on the beach The Verdict: If you want a great pool, a stunning beach, and turtle encounters, this is your place. If you want updated amenities and a bed that doesn't swallow you whole (ours had quite a "dip"), you might want to look elsewhere.

There's a lot to like about the setting itself. That said, this is a large, high-volume resort, and the overall experience reflects that. Pool areas felt crowded, with frequent competition for chairs, and poolside service seemed stretched--wait times were longer than expected for a property at this price point. Food options leaned heavily toward casual, bar-style items, which felt mismatched relative to the premium pricing. Logistically, the resort is quite spread out. Getting from the rooms to the lobby or main areas can take 10-15 minutes depending on location, which adds friction--especially with kids. Some elements of the experience also felt a bit dated and less polished than expected. We also had a child who was sick during part of the trip, which certainly affected our experience, but the high-density, crowded nature of the resort made it harder to navigate that situation comfortably. Overall, this property is likely a good fit for families looking for a lively, busy resort atmosphere with lots of activity. Travelers seeking a quieter, more efficient, or higher-touch experience may want to consider smaller or lower-density options in Maui
